New York Comic Con (NYCC) is the East Coast’s biggest and most exciting popular culture convention. Our show floor plays host to the latest and greatest in comics, graphic novels, anime, manga, video games, toys, movies, and television. NYCC’s panels and autograph sessions give fans a chance to interact with their favorite creators, while the screening rooms feature sneak peeks at films and television shows months before they hit either big or small screens. And with dedicated professional hours, New York Comic Con is a market place, bringing together the major players in the entertainment industry. New York Comic Con is the second largest pop culture convention in America and the only one that takes place in the comic book, publishing, media, and licensing capital of the world — Gotham City.
New York Comic Con attracted over 105,000 attendees in 2011, easily making it the second largest comic book and pop culture gathering in the country. And Crain’s New York Business has ranked NYCC as the second largest event in New York City!
New York Comic Con (NYCC) 2012 will take place October 11-14 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City. NYCC 2012 will be held alongside the 2012 New York Anime Festival (NYAFF). Together, the two shows will take up the whole building and celebrate the best of popular culture on both sides of the Pacific. And, one badge will get you into both events. That’s right. Buy a badge to New York Comic Con and you can use it to enter the New York Anime Festival as well!
